meghan+brett: kekaha, kauai

Kauai LOVE! One of my favorite islands in the Hawaiian chain. What makes this island so special? Being able to photograph a wedding there, eating at Hamura’s Saimin & KFC (Kauai Fried Chicken – inside joke for all you Kauaians). Kauai is beautiful, green, laid-back, quiet, filled with friendly people & beautiful. Wait, I already...

jenny+kekoa: lanikuhonua – kapolei, hawaii

What’s more fun than photographing a bride+groom being trashed? NOTHING. This was a blast! Jenny+Kekoa was such an amazingly fun outgoing couple to hang out with. They were both adventurous and was willing to help my vision come to life. Little did they know that our Trash The Dress  session would require your feet getting...

beth+robert: kahili golf course – wailuku, maui

This was a wedding I shot back in March. Every time I’d fly over to Maui, I’d look down out of the plane and was curious about this amazing property. I didn’t know it was a golf course and that it was a venue for weddings. When I met up with Beth+Robert, they mentioned that...
